I really focus on not having conspiratorial theories and try to recognize and not fall into confirmation bias. To search for and only extract factual data and information from all the noise. But alas I am only human, and there is a continued biting of thoughts that the GOP side of the isle is adhering to an executed plan of getting rid of financial burdens of society (ie; seniors, the poor and disabled, and other social economic burdens), all for their financial and power control benefit. They are doing this through Covid and Mitigation Wars, culture wars, and anti-science policies, disbanding science groups and hiding from the public factual science and environmental reports. Controlling media disinformation to millions with Fox networks and the like.

Our health systems one of the worst in the advanced and developed nations. Death, sickness, and individual costs worse in the red controlled areas. Heavy costs and collateral damage to even the "working class" seem to be accepted for an evil goal. Whether or not that is their intent and goal, the results and consequences seem to be the same.

They know the statistics or at least they have access to them. They know the proven science, the history of medical acknowledgment of proven solutions and mitigation methods. Vaccines are comparably new in human history, but definitely proven valid for a very long time. Physical distancing has been used successfully against virus and disease in the earliest days of this country, and as far back as the 5th century with the Plague of Justinian (although that included a lot of racism against societies from Jews to homosexuals neutralizing the effects). For the religious crowd in the earliest of biblical writings from the Book of Leviticus 13:46: "And the leper in whom the plague is... he shall dwell alone; outside the camp shall his habitation be". Masks have evolved from old century plagues where early ppe were used with some success, but evolved from that to proven mitigation that fully works, protecting from and immensely limiting death and disease.

Environmental science over the generations has only been continuously proven and is now costing and effecting our lives to much great degree and will continue to exponentially grow in those economical costs and effects as each year passes.

What did the GOP do and continue to do with all that accumulated proven science (other than reap 100's of millions, maybe billions or trillions over time from big oil, medical industry, and the like)? They attacked and inflicted nation destroying political, culture, and misinformation wars. Making one thing for sure, it has made it increasingly difficult to be a centrist or seeing both sides of any equation.
